There has been an uptick in breeding activity with the bald eagle found at Lake Highlands Park. Dallas park maintenance crews along with the Park Conservation Team installed a temporary fence to remind park visitors to keep their distance. Please do not try to approach the nest, or get any closer than the fence, as any disturbance could be a federal offense. Over the last 4 years, this pair of eagles has shown to be tolerant of normal park activities.  At this time, those activities are continuing unless the pair begin to show signs of being distressed or disturbed. It is also critical that park users remember that dogs are to be on a leash at all times, unless visiting one of our off-leash parks. During previous nesting seasons, dogs running around off-leash was one of the major factors in disturbing the eagles. Dallas Park Rangers will be monitoring the area for off-leash dogs.  The Urban Biologist and Conservation Manager are actively monitoring the situation at Lake Highlands Park.  Please watch for updates, and announcements for times when conservation staff is onsite to answer questions.
